| Costume |
Christof: Black beret, black turtleneck, round glasses. |
He’s dressed in dark clothing, artist, creator like appearance. |
| Dialogue |
“Good afternoon, good evening and goodnight.” |
Old fashioned, happy catchphrase. 1950’s perfect. Makes him seem happy and kind. |
| Costume |
Truman. Brown jacket, cream pants, brown covered shoes. 50’s hair cut. |
We know he his clean cut, well presented. He looks quite geeky. We know he seems to be polite, nice, a naïve nature. |
| Body Language |
Tense, fake grin/laugh, backed up against car, defensive arm stance. |
Can tell he’s scared of the dog, which could indicate another way Christof could trap Truman with his fears. |
| Dialogue |
“Just promise me one thing. If I die before I reach the summit you’ll eat me as a alternative source of food… ew gross.” |
Talking to himself in the mirror pretending as if he’s climbing a mountain. Shows his longing for adventure, also his immature side, like he is a little kid almost in his humour. |
| Dialogue |
Radio Host: “Are you thinking of flying somewhere?” “No, no good.” |
Reinforce Truman’s fear of flying, another control technique, and to let Truman think the stage light “Sirius” fell off of one. |
| Symbol |
The stage light falling from the ‘sky’ labelled ‘Sirius’ |
A ‘Falling star’ effect. |
| Dialogue |
“His world is counterfeit, but Truman is real.” -Christof |
